Season 3 - your goals and expectations

Postby AceLosesKing » Mon May 26, 2008 2:42 pm

Hey all. Just looking to get some opinions, I'm wondering what everyone's goals and expectations are for Season 3. Would you like to win a tournament - or more than one? Qualify for states? Finish in the top 5/10/whatever in the regional/state leaderboard? Play less/more games?

I've had goals each year and I've followed, and achieved them, every season.

Season 1, 2007: Make points a few times.
Season 2, 2007: Win my first NPL tourny.
Season 1, 2008, Win another NPL tourny and qualify for states.
Season 2, 2008: Win another NPL tourny, qualify for states, and finish in the top 5 in the region again.

All completed.

My goals for Season 3, 2008?

Win TWO NPL tourny's, qualify for states, finish in the top 3 in the region, get player of the week at least once.

That'll be hard.

So everyone, what's your goals for Season 3? Lets follow everyone's progress in here!

Good idea ALK.

I achieved my goals in season...
    07-1 (points once, 7 games)
    07-2 (win/states/venue top 5) 2x win + states + 1st @ venue
    08-1 (win/states) 1x win + states, played lots of games and feel I underachieved this season
    08-2 (no goals) 2x win, no states, but finished season with huge rush of places and wins. Very happy camper

08-3 goals?
    states thru top 50 would be nice
    venue top 5 somewhere (yet to be decided)
    strike rate no less than 1 win every 17 games (currently 5 wins/109)
    win tourney with 100+ runners (will be hard as there aren't too many of these)
    go back to back?
    Player of the week - like this idea
    Deep stack, day 2 (my golf swing HAS gone to rubbish after all)

With attention paid to the bold items.

My goals for season 3 - 2008 are less in number than previous seasons.

I'm not fussed if I win a tourney or not (although of course it's nice) but my main aim would be to make sure I qualify for the state final and see if I can't at least equal my top 50 result.

A secondary goal would be to try and qualify for any satellites to bigger tournaments such as Skycity. Those are more of a right time and place kind of effort for my way of thinking though.

Another goal would be to knock Laura out of a tourney. I think I've created a monster!
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

Excellent thread ALK!!! and congratulations for achieving your goals, you should be so proud of the efforts you have made and the ground you have covered.

As for me, I by far exceeded my aspirations for last season.
Last season I wanted to make finals with this seasons being the time I had a win under my belt.

But I got both goals.

I got top spot in one venue on a day and top 5 for Metro South so I am kinda sorta happy with all of that!!!!!!

Sorry, not boasting, just explaining.

SOOOO having said that

My goal for this season is making it into the top 50 in the state and at least one player of the week top 10.

Also I would really like to keep the statistics and postions I achieved this season just gone and maybe somehow better it.
